Everyone.. I do work at the source, I have seeing the vehicle twice and I've heard test engineering team and everything points out to just matching the older SRT8. Added platform weight has been a big constrain/concerned from what I've heard, hence the bigger displacement, added torque/hp and tweaking of electronic management unit. 5sec is quick enough for the mass the vehicle has. Roadntruck recently released "spied pics" but don't even get close to what I've seeing first hand, that's just a 'mule' built with lots of spare parts, totally unreliable source. Actual SRT8 will get your mouth watering when you see it. It won't turn heads but rather snap necks. I plan on purchasing one myself.

The new 6.4 wasn't developed and brought to production to "make up for platform weight", it was brought out to raise the bar for the entire SRT8 division. While the WK2 SRT will have gained some weight, it is more than compensated for by the 6.4's increased hp and torque performance. As with the other SRT models the released numbers will be conservative. Wait until the track numbers start coming out, then it can be more accurately judged.

This is the final SRT8 disguised as a 'low rider' at SEMA.. Just the interior is different from what we have seeing.. Recaro seats and lots of nicely done stitching. Similar to '11 Dogde R/T Durango.. pics are out there already and it can give you a peek to the SRT8 Inside
